OK. I said women have "special" talents for whale hunting--doing big deals. I say that because often we don't think of our special talents as being relevant to "the big deal." What are those talents? Here are a few:
- a gift for listening and learning
- a preference for collaboration and alignment
- an instinct for mentoring and guiding
Are we born with these talents or socialized to them? Who cares! Do some men have these gifts as well? (Yes) Do all women display them? (No). But you and I both know that a lot of highly successful women have become successful and stayed there because of their special talents.
I look forward to exploring with you how we as women can leverage our most precious assets and how this 21st century economy cries out for us to do that!
